How to Uninstall Cortana in Windows 10

Cortana is one of Windows 10’s signature features, but not all users are delighted with it. Some people don’t find Cortana specially useful, so they want to disable it, or even completely uninstall it from their computer. So, in this article, we’re going to show you how to delete Cortana from your system for good.

Also, uninstalling Cortana breaks Start Menu and Search, so you’ll be forced to use some kind of third-party Start Menu. Once you uninstall Cortana, and break Start Menu, it’s permanent, so you’ll probably have to re-install the whole system to get it back.

But if you strongly decided to uninstall Cortana, and probably mess up a few more features with it, there’s a tool which will do that for you in just a couple of second. So, here’s what you need to do to completely remove Cortana from your Windows 10 computer:

Right click the Uninstall Cortana.cmd file and select Run as Administrator.

Wait till the process is done.

Restart your computer.

There you go, once you’ve uninstalled Cortana, just download some third-party Start Menu, and you’re good to go. But we have to tell you again, that you should have a good think before you do such a thing, because once you uninstall Cortana, there’s no way back (except reinstalling Windows 10 completely)
